ePlus Storage-as-a-Service (STaaS)

The Power of ePlus STaaS

ePlus STaaS, leveraging our strategic partners NetApp and Pure Storage, is one of the foundational elements of the ePlus Data Center-as-a-Service vision, which also includes ePlus Confident Recovery-as-a-Service. ePlus STaaS allows you the flexibility and convenience to scale usage as your needs change without having to pre-purchase growth capacity by creating a consumption-based cost model within your own data center. This makes it easier to address the uncertainty of capacity planning and rely on contractual business SLAs around performance and availability. The ePlus STaaS offering leverages the market leading subscription platforms from our partners, NetApp Keystone and Pure Storage Evergreen//One, with a designated ePlus Customer Success Manager and expert first-call support.
